Borneo Bistro

Still nowt happening.

Hylton Road still being affected.

Council must be getting a bit miffed.

Anyone know owt? 2 months now.

 

[tooliohelmet]

Apparently there was some sort of fire.

 

[Notorious Decka]

Gone but not forgotten. Such a shame.

Insurance not paid out as yet

Don't know why they don't operate out of another premises for a while. Even on a smaller scale. The place would be packed and I bet they would turn a profit even if it was on a temporary basis.

Poor bloke, lovely bloke. Hope he's alreet. My heart goes out to him. That place was his life. He used to love it when people asked where he got his trinkets from, like that weird carnivorous plant he had on display. The lasses in there were good craic anarl.

Fingers crossed the insurance is a whopper and he comes back bigger than ever. Haway the Borneo.

Yep. He'll lose the loyalty of his customers if he doesn't get his skates on.

It's pretty clear Kev marches to the beat of his own drum, he must have been told dozens of times to start doing deliveries, stay open late, move to a bigger premises in a nicer part of town - he never did any of it.

You reckon?

Unless someone opens an alternative which is markedly better in the interim, I’d suggest he’d regain trade almost on day one.

Yes I do. But I hope not.

Depends when "day one" is.

He's built up a good brand, not sure why he's not exploiting it.There are empty properties nearby.

The temporary traffic lights are a pain in the arse.

I think deliveries could have been a nightmare for to be honest due to the demand for the food.

What lights took them down about a week ago, right pain in the arse having to wait till traffic clears going up hylton road before you can go

That'll be about the last time I was around that way.

I'll go back when he reopens even if it's 2 years away. But some will move on you're right.

 

[Baghdad McBadLad]

Imagine the size of the queue for the rendang on opening launch day!

Me too but what's he doing in the meantime?

I was talking to his brother last week and everything is being put into place for him to get completely sorted and back open. As ever with insurance companies, these things take a while.
